This is just a quick post absent of my usual geopolitical angles. To be honest it's about everything surrounding the topic, the sticking points that seem to sabotage a discussion capable of advancing the issue in civil discourse.
In all honesty I personally almost consider much of what I choose to bring up irrelevant in understanding the geopolitics, but since (despite there being content out there parading as geopolitical analysis) I keep running into the same tired and totally ossified myths and mishevious (or misunderstood) synopses. It's all weak, lacking in self consistent reasoning and based on a false premise, or two.. or ten.
The case being made out there by the MSM doesn't impress me much.

Always keep in mind that Hamas was Israel's creation to effectively end Yasser Arafat's PLO.
Always keep in mind that Israel has nuclear weapons, and honestly I have zero doubt that they would sooner use them than ever allow their enemies inbthe region to defeat them. Broader all out war is a no win situation, Its vital this gets de-escalated.
